By increasing knowledge of the region with an easy way to purchase as an individual or as wholesaler connections and economic relationships develop.Through collaborating and increasing knowledge of products and information easily found for those outside the region and outside of the tourist season, individuals and small businesses can increase their market without an enormous financial outlay or expensive maintenance contract.PRESS The Guardian The Local Il Centro Abruzzo Economica Centero Estero Words of Wine Winner
